This plugin provides you with shortcodes to insert your full LinkedIn profile
and a rotating scroller of your LinkedIn recommendations in any WordPress page
or post. Please check vedovini.net for
examples.

The following shortcodes are available:

[li_recommendations width="480" length="200" interval="1000"] displays a
rotating scroller with the recommendations you received. Only available if
LinkedIn granted you access to your full profile.

[li_profile] displays your LinkedIn profile. Optional attributes
are fields and lang to overide the general settings. Only basic profile is
available unless LinkedIn granted you access to your full profile.

[li_card] displays a simple LinkedIn card. Optional attributes
are picture_width and summary_length, and fields and lang to overide
the general settings.

[li_picture] displays the original profile picture (size may vary depending
on what you uploaded to LinkedIn). Optional attributes are width, height
and class.

To customize the rendering of the shortcodes you must create a linkedin folder
in your theme or in the wp-content folder and then copy the template file you
want to modify. The default template files are located in the plugin’s templates folder.

There are also several widgets. One widget displays the recommendations
scroller, one displays your network updates, and two widgets show a “profile
card” – one of which is the standard LinkedIn JavaScript profile widget, the
other uses a customizable template.

ATTENTION: Since v1.6 the call to add the javascript for the recommendations
slider to the page as been moved to the recommendations.php template. If you
customized that template you must add the following line to the top of your
custom template: wp_enqueue_script('responsive-scrollable');

We welcome volunteers to translate that plugin into more languages. If you wish
to help then contact @cvedovini on Twitter or
use that contact form.

Also available is the WP LinkedIn Advanced Templates
extension that provides extended profile templates (including most of the
profile sections) and a more sophisticated template for company page updates.

Does the plugin support multiple user profiles?

No, it doesn’t. But there is a premiun extension,WP LinkedIn Multi-Users
that changes the behavior of this plugin so that shortcodes and widgets show
the data of the author of the post or page.

Does the plugin support company profiles?

No, it doesn’t. But there is a premiun extension,WP LinkedIn for Companies
that provides shortcodes and widgets for company profiles and company updates.

I have a slider somewhere and it doesn’t work anymore when I add the recommendations’ scroller

It’s usually due to an incompatibility between the different javascript
components used. To solve the incompatibility it’s better to choose one of the
component and use only this one. To change the component that is used by the
recommendations’ scroller you will need to customize the recommendations.php
template.

I am constantly asked to get a new access token

There can be several reasons to that problem, check the following:

Make sure your server’s time is correct.

If you are using an external cache system make sure it’s properly configured.

Try to uncheck the Verify SSL peer option on the plugin’s settings page.

Since I updated to v1.6 the recommendation slider does not work anymore

Since v1.6 the call to add the javascript for the recommendations slider to
the page as been moved to the recommendations.php template. If you
customized that template you must add the following line to the top of your
custom template: wp_enqueue_script('responsive-scrollable');

Profile picture is only 80×80 pixels is there a way to get a bigger one from LinkedIn?

You can either add picture-urls::(original) to the list of fields and output
that field in a customized template or use the [li_picture] shortcode.
